History
of "Palestine" 1273 BCE to 1948

The only time "Palestine" was ruled by "Palestinians"
or any people from the Arabian Peninsula was briefly around 635 A.D.

"The only Arab domination since
the Conquest in 635 A.D. hardly lasted, as such, 22 years...," the Muslim
chairman of the Syrian Delegation attested in his remarks to the Paris
Peace Conference in February 1919.

"Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian
identity serves only tactical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state
is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel... " Zuheir Muhsin,
late Military Department head of the PLO and member of its Executive Council,
Dutch daily Trouw, March 1977
